Grafton High student caught with Spice

YORK — For the second time in two months, a Grafton High School student has been caught at school with synthetic marijuana also known as Spice.

A 16-year-old boy was charged Jan. 14 with possession of synthetic cannabinoids and possession of controlled paraphernalia.

York-Poquoson Sheriff's Lt. Dennis Ivey Jr. said the teen's mother called the school to alert officials that her son may have been smoking spice. Ivey said the school resource officer questioned the teen and found a small amount of suspected Spice and a "smoking device" in his backpack.

Last month a 17-year-old male student at Grafton High was also charged with possession of synthetic cannabinoids and possession of controlled paraphernalia after a resource officer found suspected Spice after smelling a marijuana odor coming from a school bathroom.
